How to perform hydraulic brake bed-in?

To optimize the performance of the brake pads and disc brake rotor, perform the bed-in procedure as explained in the steps below:

  1. Ride your bicycle in a flat and safe area without obstacles and accelerate to a moderate speed.
  2. Operate the brake lever until you slow down to walking speed.

    Do this only with one brake lever at a time. Be careful when performing this procedure. Always operate your brake lever with moderation, especially when you bed in the front brake.

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for at least 20 times for both the front and rear brakes.

    While repeating the process, the brake force will increase.
